The amendment that has had the greatest impact on increasing civil rights is the **Fourteenth Amendment**.

Ratified in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment provides a broad definition of citizenship and guarantees equal protection under the law. It has been fundamental in numerous landmark Supreme Court cases that have advanced civil rights, including those related to racial equality, gender rights, and various other civil liberties.

The other amendments listed do not have the same direct and significant impact on civil rights as the Fourteenth Amendment.
